Inhaltsangabe:

A magnificent treasury of popular folklore, this rare, hardcover compilation offers a bounty of delightful illustrations by Charles Robinson — there are black-and-white illustrations on every page as well as 16 plates of full- and two-color images. Decorative initials and borders, hand lettering, silhouettes, and other ornaments embellish renderings of 300 traditional verses, from "Little Tom Tucker" and "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" to "Good King Arthur" and "Shave a Pig."
